You might have seen my recent post about interest in a historical roleplay. This is the first of that series. It will be based on the Tet Offensive, a military action by the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong, taking advantage of an agreed upon cease fire during the Vietnamese celebration of Tet (Vietnamese New Year) on January 30th, 1968. My vision of this roleplay is that it will not just be a ton of shooting, but also touch on some of the issues of that time, such as the civil rights movement, the anti war movements, the changing culture of the United States as the 1950s idealism and prosperity begins to fade, and the soldier's experiences in Vietnam. Whether or not that will happen is another thing, but if you have any questions, or are interested in this, lemme know in the comments. A character submission template will be posted soon.

I have the say that the Vietnam War is definitely out of my area of expertise, however, while I haven't looked through them yet, just the very fact you've provided so many links tells me that this will be a very in depth roleplay. Count me interested, at least. Though I'll really have to brush up on my history before I give the okay.

I studied the Vietnam War in quite some detail back in Secondary School, and I would love to be apart of something like this. Can't believe that I didn't notice this before.

I'm really very boring. You'd get better stories out of a Freeside junkie...

Ooh, a Vietnam roleplay? Like, Lang Vei, Siege of Hue, and Khe Sanh? I'll consider joining.
